Project Summary

The partnership involved initial 5 institutions from 5 European countries and it was the result of a common work based on the SWOT analysis of the partners’ needs. The distribution of tasks was a common agreement based on the experience and willingness of the partners to share their knowledge/ experience and to get actively involved in new things.
After Italian partner dropped off the project partners decided to have 2 Transnational Meeting (Romania – October 2017 and in June 2019) and 3 Short-term exchanges of groups of pupils (Portugal-February 2018, Hungary-April 2018,Turkey-October 2018). ^2 students and 34 teachers participated directly at the mobilities.
The activities carried out have offered the opportunity to students to:
•create new innovative products: creating flashcards and thematic puzzles
•develop their inter and intra personal skills: creating handmade bookmarks, attending lessons, presenting the products,
participating to workshops, being part of the play during the Forum Theater activity
•develop their ICT skills: using the project webpages (common site – http://understanding.ro, Facebook group -https://www.facebook.com/groups/1450645268303998/), creating the photo album of the project, presentations (topic “My country, my city, my school”), the logo of the project, digital photos, the calendar of the project, common movie (“Tolerance through my eyes”), the e-book (with the scenarios from the Forum Theater activity)
•activate their civic duty of getting to know the lifestyle of other European communities
•participate at sports competitions: playing board games, participating at outdoor and indoor activities
Our project was designed to involve more students than teachers, thus these four activities have provided maximum benefit to the students. The teachers involved in the project have offered guidance and help whenever necessary; they have boost students’ confidence to trust themselves more and to dare to present their own ideas to the peers.
In order to better implement the project, the partners agreed to divide the tasks at a national level, too, by sharing the responsibilities. Therefore, each partner was responsible to set up a project team for the implementation, dissemination, monitoring-evaluation and budget control of the project. These teams have as a main role to ensure the project develops in optimal conditions and are formed by coordinators, legal representatives, language teachers, IT teachers and accountants. In order to ensure the success of the project, each partner holds the responsibility to set up project clubs that organize activities for the students directly involved in the project, but also for anyone interested to join it.
The project activities carried out at a national and international level aimed to encourage the school community to be more tolerant and understanding.
